UAE Legal Services
Philip Jones Legal is an international law firm with established offices in London and Dubai, providing seamless legal advice to businesses, investors, entrepreneurs and private clients operating across the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and the wider Middle East.
Our Dubai office works in close integration with our UK practice, enabling clients to access English legal expertise alongside commercially focused advice on UAE matters through one coordinated international team. Whether advising on cross-border acquisitions, corporate structuring, commercial contracts, employment matters, international disputes, immigration, regulatory issues or private wealth, we deliver practical solutions that protect our clients' commercial interests.
Our lawyers regularly advise multinational businesses, government-related entities, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, founders, investors and growing companies undertaking complex international transactions. We understand the legal, commercial and cultural considerations involved in doing business between the UK and the Gulf region, allowing clients to move confidently across jurisdictions.
Unlike many international firms, our clients enjoy direct access to senior lawyers throughout every stage of a matter. We pride ourselves on delivering City-quality legal advice combined with the responsiveness, commerciality and personal service that international businesses increasingly expect.

Whether establishing a business in Dubai, acquiring a UK company, expanding internationally, resolving a cross-border dispute or protecting private wealth, our lawyers provide commercially focused advice backed by international experience and local understanding.
A Different Kind of International Law Firm
International businesses require more than technical legal advice. They need lawyers who understand how business operates across borders.
At Philip Jones Legal, we combine the standards of a leading international practice with the accessibility and commercial focus of a modern law firm. Our integrated London and Dubai offices enable clients to instruct one firm that understands both jurisdictions, delivering efficient, strategic and practical legal solutions wherever business takes them.
